‘Junjun’ Binay hopes for reversal of oust order

Jejomar Erwin “Junjun” Binay Jr. on Wednesday welcomed the decision of the Supreme Court (SC) affirming the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals (CA) to act on petitions questioning orders issued by the Office of the Ombudsman.

Deciding on Binay’s petition questioning the validity of his suspension order by the Office of the Ombudsman, the High Court ruled in favor of the CA’s issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and Writ of Preliminary Injunction (WPI) on the first preventive suspension order issued by Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales against the Makati City mayor.
